A few words from our Firewalk expert
Charity Fire Walk | Charity Firewalk | Norwich

Benefits of taking part in a firewalk
At first, the idea of walking through fire might seem daunting. However, the positive results experienced by our participants are living proof of the amazing effects of this experience.

1. Firewalks shatter comfort zones.
We’re all living inside tiny bubbles of comfort that prevent us from experiencing all life has to offer. Firewalks have the ability to improve our willingness to expand those boundaries.

2. They establish strong connections.
Going through challenging experiences has the power to build bridges between people, making firewalks the perfect solution for team building within charities.

3. Firewalks build character.
There’s something that sticks with participants after a firewalk. They walk taller, stand firmer, and talk more confidently. This undeniable change is the result of the strong character formation that happens in such a short period of time during these events.

4. They shift perspectives.
Nobody goes into a firewalk completely confident of their ability to walk through the flames. By the end, however, everybody is instilled with the knowledge that they’re capable of so much more. This shift in perspective is transferrable to other endeavours within your charity which leads to greater performance and achievement overall.

Incentive
As an incentive, each year our event hosts, Charity Firewalk offer an award to the individual that raises the most money for their chosen charity. Just send us your details after your walk and let us know how much you raised, and we will let them know.

Face your fears and tick something amazing off your Bucket List, all whilst raising funds for the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity! You won’t be on your own, as we are getting together a group of people who will all jump on the same day for us.

Pay a non-refundable £50 deposit to UK Parachuting, then raise £315 or more for us in sponsorship and the rest of your jump is FREE!

Choose your jump time from 8:30am, 10:30am, 12:30pm or 2:30pm.
